The Double-Cleansing Method: Why Oats Are a Skincare Essential

✨ The Double-Cleansing Method: Unlocking the Power of Oats for Radiant Skin

In the ever-evolving world of skincare, some methods are more than fleeting trends—they’re transformative rituals. One such method that’s earned its place in the skincare hall of fame is double-cleansing. And when paired with the calming, nurturing properties of oats, the result is nothing short of skin magic.

Let’s break down what double-cleansing is, why it matters, and how oats can elevate your routine from effective to exceptional.


🧼 What Is Double-Cleansing, Anyway?

Originally a cornerstone of Korean skincare, double-cleansing involves washing your face twice: once with an oil-based cleanser and then again with a water-based cleanser.

Why It Works:

  • Step 1 (Oil-Based): Breaks down makeup, SPF, excess sebum, and pollution.

  • Step 2 (Water-Based): Removes sweat, bacteria, and water-based impurities.

This two-step ritual ensures a thorough cleanse—leaving your skin clean, balanced, and ready to absorb the goodness of your serums and moisturisers.

🌾 Oats in Skincare: Gentle, Effective, and Wonderfully Natural

At Puremess, we’re big believers in letting nature do the heavy lifting—and oats are one of our favourite multitaskers.

✨ Here’s why oats are a dream for your skin:

  • Natural Exfoliant: Oats gently buff away dead skin without scratching or stripping.

  • Soothing Power: They’re rich in avenanthramides—antioxidants with anti-inflammatory effects, perfect for calming redness and sensitivity.

  • Hydration Hero: Oats contain lipids and beta-glucans that act like a moisture-locking shield.

  • Barrier Support: They help repair and protect your skin’s natural barrier from harsh weather and environmental stressors.

It’s like giving your skin a hug—every time you cleanse.

💧 Why Oats and Double-Cleansing Make the Perfect Pair

When you combine the deep-cleansing benefits of the double-cleansing method with the nourishing power of oats, you get a skincare ritual that:

  • Cleanses without stripping

  • Soothes as it purifies

  • Leaves skin plump, calm, and glowing

Oats are especially powerful in the second cleanse—after your oil-based step, using an oat-based cleanser gently removes residue while infusing your skin with hydration and comfort.


🧡 Meet Your New Favourite Cleanser: Oat & Mandarin

Gentle enough for sensitive skin, powerful enough for daily use—our bestselling Oat & Mandarin Cleanser is packed with natural oat extracts and brightening mandarin oil.

It:

  • Lifts away impurities

  • Calms inflammation

  • Softens and hydrates

  • Smells like sunshine in a bottle ☀️

No wonder it’s a fan favourite for those seeking a natural, effective way to double-cleanse.

📝 How to Incorporate Double-Cleansing Into Your Routine

Evening Routine:

  1. Start with an oil cleanser to remove makeup, SPF, and oil-based impurities.

  2. Follow with a gentle oat-based cleanser like Oat & Mandarin to purify and soothe.

  3. Apply your serums, oils, and moisturiser while skin is still damp.

Bonus Tip: You don’t have to double-cleanse every day. Start with 2–3 evenings per week and see how your skin responds.


🌱 Conclusion: Double the Cleanse, Double the Care

Double-cleansing with oats gives your skin the best of both worlds—thorough cleansing and natural nourishment. It’s a gentle yet powerful way to refresh your skin and restore its natural glow, especially if you struggle with dryness, sensitivity, or dullness.

At Puremess, we believe in skincare that’s both effective and kind. Our Oat & Mandarin Cleanser is a perfect example of this philosophy in action—crafted with love, powered by nature, and designed to support your skin’s health every day.
